Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Flax seeds
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 minced Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Toast the flax seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Grind the toasted flax seeds into a coarse powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and honey. Mix well until smooth.
Add the minced garlic, ground flax seeds, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using) to the yogurt mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lemon juice for tanginess or honey for sweetness, based on your preference.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and stir it into the sauce. Reserve a small amount for garnish if desired.
Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving bowl, garnish with the reserved parsley, and optionally drizzle with a touch of olive oil for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, chips, crackers, or your favorite grilled dish. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
